Netflix and TiVo: Download your Movies!
PVRBlog points out that there’s an article in Newsweek (which I haven’t seen since it hasn’t arrived since my move...) that’s discussing TiVo and NetFlix teaming up to offer downloadable movies.
Details are thin, but the idea is that people who have both a TiVo account and a NetFlix account would be able to download movies to watch on their TiVo. As PVRBlog suggests, the movies would probably be ~700MB DivX files, and with current broadband speeds I don’t think you’ll be seeing an “instant” service.
Still, something like that would be very, very cool. My roommate has a NetFlix account…
